In fact, clean the battery compartment with a dry cloth or a blower while you are at it. You should hear a resounding ‘click’ of some sorts when everything fits in place. Remove the battery from the laptop and put it back in place. While chances are slim here, it could be possible, especially if you have dropped your laptop recently.

It is possible that the power adapter is loose.

Don’t forget to reboot your laptop before checking if the battery is working again or not. Press on Windows key+I to open Settings and click on Update & Security.Ĭheck for updates here and download and install them.
